Data is collected from the Atlantic Marine Energy Test Site (AMETS) and from Irish Lights WT2 Wave Buoy. AMETS is being developed by Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) to facilitate testing of full scale wave energy converters in an open ocean environment and is located off Annagh Head, west of Belmullet in County Mayo.

The Cork SmartBay buoy is located off Roches point Lighthouse. The buoy is a Mobilis DB800 and is equipped with sensors to support operational monitoring of local weather, wave and environmental conditions and to facilitate a number of research projects in Cork Harbour.
